No, she didn't plan for this to happen. 
  No, she didn't see this one coming. 
  And no, she really couldn't do anything about it.

  See, people come and go. All the time. Some stay shorter, some stay longer. Some make you itch, some cause you pain, some give you love, some teach you things.

  But only one person will ever arrive in your life that'll shatter everything that your life is. The walls and the façades and the pride and the plans and maybe your heart. 

  And they never knock before they step in your life. They literally jump in through the window. It doesn't matter if you got the door locked, they will find a way to come inside.

  It doesn't matter if you've got your heart locked. They WILL touch it. They WILL shatter it.

  People call that 'fate'.

  Laura Robinson calls that 'catastrophe'.

  That title might be the only thing Laura Robinson and Austin Walker agree on.

  But that one thing, leads to more.

"She didn't expect her life to become full of grey visions, smiles that never quite reach the eyes, empty beauties, senseless conversations, unrevealed secrets, and silent screams."

"He didn't expect his life to become full of colorful tragedies, daydreaming eyes, electric souls, aesthetic words, untold stories, and simple smiles."

"None of them saw this coming, and nobody ever asked for this."

"'I'm still in love with you!" The choir suddenly stopped and the tension cracked with the silence of the crowd. The bride, the epitome of Cinderella, turned corpselike, tears ashen as they fall to the floor. And that's when I noticed the jilted groom. He cleaned up nicely, and carried himself with poise even in such conditions, but there were fragments of displeasure written along the lines of his brows, and eyes buried with a shade darker than his tuxedo. He caught my guilty eyes with his, realizing just who I was. I knew him, more so than the regular townsfolk. Travis Garver shared the same tragic memory I had sought to forget about. I ran backwards as fast as I could with four inch heels, tossing dignity to the side; I ran through the double doors of the building, the church bells of the entryway singing me a lullaby as I left. It was as if, in a twisted moment of fate, I was Cinderella.' ** '"Come on, you're the best at what you do. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't trust you." Breaking up your best friend and her boyfriend had to be easy, right? I never liked him anyway, so this was going to be a piece of cake. I'd do it for my best friend, and hey, if a few more people need my help with their failed relationships along the way, who was I NOT to mess it up, too? They can thank me later.' -- SUMMARY: Dani Rose Cooper hasn't been in her hometown of Cope since her brother's passing, but a call from her longtime friend for a request she cannot reject has her packing her bags and jetting down south. Dani is about to get more than she bargained for. With over-expecting friends, a mother who just found out her daughter dropped out of college, and a few unbaring men, what could go wrong?

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1)

21 parts Complete Mature

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for. It should have been enough. She was off-limits, my parent's best friend's daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn't exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn't know how to fill. It's what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn't have made. Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn't meant for me cost me everything I loved. I never should have crossed that line or given in. It's why she'll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret. This tragic story is the beginning of our end...
